thanks, NOMORE4s. sounds cool, post up pics

flyboy, see list above for all mods and makers, i ordered pretty much everything direct. for the Oberon bar-end mirrors, i ordered direct from Oberon in the UK. and yup, i can see out of them. i'm used to looking down after having the same setup for the past few years. used to have a CatEye mtb mirror on left in same position.

roberuno, thanks!

typeone, the fender eliminator you used, from hillbilly motors, do you have the link to it? I found the website but I cant read German (or whatever it is) trying to find it by pictures and I found one that looks similar, but the plate is sticking down and not bent back flat against the bottom like yours

 

[Somthngfrce]

That is one SICK bike [cool][up][cool]

 

[bbrady]

I agree with everyone. This is one of the coolest bikes I have ever seen!!!! I want the gas mask

 

[flyboy]

WOW,that will bring a 10,sharpest bike I've seen

thanks, guys!

dgp, regarding the tail, i dont think HBM ever sold that unit in their catalog. Jens happened to have a prototype on the bench in Carbon/Kevlar weave which is the one I have. its a dupe of an HSA tail. i'm not sure if they're still being produced by either company, this is going back a few years now. someone did find a similar unit recently but i dont have a link... i know it was another German company though. Most of my mods were bought direct from shops in the EU. required lots of surfing and translating German!

regarding the plate mount/location, i did that myself, not part of the kit. most tail kits allow for a bracket that sticks down as you mention. i positioned and drilled for the plate in the stock undertail.

few newer pics...

thanks, LeFox! that was the site i was thinking of. nice find (bookmarked that sucker now)... dgp, as you can see, that tail is a little different but very close. i love the revised light shape. real smooth.. .

 

[buellxb]

I must mention that this is the sickest lightning I've ever seen to date. IMO It's not overdone, stealthy, clean & mean...

 

[dgp]

Thanks for the reply's im going to check out that tail section.

typeone, got 1 Q for you.

the oberon footpegs, did you get a spring mounted for them aswell?
i've made a testrun with those footpegs but they were mounted without a spring to keep them in their position.
it was a pain, since when i opened the throttle, the peg was pushed inwards and i had nowhere to place my foot.

 

[typeone]

LeFox, i've used the stock springs, pins and clips for all three sets of pegs i've tried (S/R/Oberon).

got a detailed picture of them with the springs fitted?

cause the guy who installed them says theirs no way to fit the springs...
